Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1967 Centennial celebrations today take Oshawa proudly into the future with the opening of the new swim- ming pool and recreation complex. For generations to come the Cen- tennial project will signify in a worthwhile manner the achievement of Oshawa citizens in their country's first century. Public support and backing from three levels of government made possible the start of construction early in September last year. With the completion of the million-dollar- plus program a major step is. taken toward filling the ever-increasing need for recreational facilities in the city. The complex includes a six-lane adult swimming. pool, a children's pool, bleachers providing seating capacity for 250, essential for water shows. The addition provides ad- ministrative offices for the depart- ment of recreation, work and game rooms, a hal] with a stage for shows and dramatic organizations ende- avors. Space will now be:available to serve the needs of many of the social and cultural organizations in the city. The swimming pool and recrea- tion complex will thus be recognized for its practical as well as its Cen- While the illegal government of Rhodesia's Ian Smith continues to éxercise dictatorial powers and in- flict its will upon the people, it is not having things all its own way. Justice John Fieldsend recently up- held a charge of defamation of character against Information Min- ister John Howman laid by the ublishers of two major newspapers in Salisbury. The minister had ac- cused the papers of practising "not press freedom but licence" and that the papers were in the hands of a monopoly dedicated to the destruc- tion of country's independence. The Justice awarded only $1,260 fn damages, but it represented a small victory for the forces of free- dom still at work in the country. Meanwhile, the newspapers con- tinue to print issues containing many blank spaces. The spaces in- dicate that the editorial material they contained has been censored by the government. The white spaces, of course, are a constant source of irritation to Mr. Smith and his followers. The She Oshawa Times 86 King St..E.. Oshawa, Ontario T. L. WILSON, Publisher &. C.

The latest analysis shows that prices rose one half of one per cent during the month of July, thus repeating the Pearson pate tern of inflation destroying the purchasing power of our wages at between two and three times the rate reported during the Conservative Years from 1957 to 1963. In specific terms, July's infla- tion took from the average Canadian each week the equiv- t alent of one packet of 25 ciga- rettes plus two penny booklets of matches. Maybe our doctors would say: "And a good thing too."' So let's express it another that average Canadian the price of one week's supply of his favourite daily newspaper average Canadian family --this newspaper of course-- spends 27 per cent of its income each week. on food, 11 per cent on clothing, The consumer price inlex is based upon 1949 prices equal- ling 100.

The real credit accrues to the Oshawa citizens who put their enthusiasm and their financial support behind the slogan "We need it. Let's build it." The enthusiasm denoted in these few words has carried two successful campaigns in Oshawa in the con- struction of the Civic Auditorium. It also exemplifies a spirit which has brought Oshawa _ recognition across the country as a city that gets things done. The Centennial project is the second of a three-stage project. The final program will include the con- struction of out-door recreational facilities. It is significant that while the Centennial phase was being completed plans have been approved and discussions on financing have opened for the final stage in the development. To the members of the auditorium board of directors their fellow citizens owe a great vote of thanks for their foresight, their drive and their leadership. And for all in the city this very special Centennial celebration today provides a source of pride in being associated with the unique project, second to none in the country. Censors Kept On Spot papers also continue to print in bold type the declaration: "All material in this newspapaper has been subjected to government censorship". And it is nothing less than the truth. The government has threat- ened on more than one occasion to take action if the offending declara- tion is not removed, but the publish- ers have stood firm and the govern- ment appears to have dropped the matter for the time being. Recently an entire editorial in the Rhodesian Herald was censored when it commented on Justice Field- send's verdict and then went on to plead with the information minister to "return to Rhodesians their free- dom of expression", Other Editors' Views ' COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF As even his opponents concede, President Johnson is on sound ground in claiming constitutional authority to send bombers within 10 miles of the China border in Vietnam -- or to do just about any- thing else he chooses in the exercise of his rights as commander-in-chief of the armed forces. More than "rights," the President has duties and responsibilities to lead the nation according to his best judgment. Congress has only two actual alernatives -- to impeach him, or to accept his leadership. --Chicago Daily News MEIGHEN WAS BETTER Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, in his great valedictory speech to the Winnipeg convention in 1927, de- clared his attitudes and actions went "unrevised and unrepented." He said it better, and more succinctly, than did Mr, Diefenbaker. -- Windsor Star tials tN QUEEN'S PARK Minutia Presented About PCs By DON O'HEARN TORONTO --There are curious reasons why we should vote for candidates in this elec- tion, at least in the mind of the Progressive Conservative Asso- ciation. The Association has released a list of the party's candidates, including short biographies. Included in the biographical data, presumably intended to win friends and influence peo- ple, are some strange facts about the lives of the various members the party hopes will represent us. The seven lines of informa- tion about Gaston Demers, sit+ ting member for Nickel Belt, for example, include the his- toric fact that he is the oldest of 15 children. HE SELLS COAL Rev. A. W.

In any case, the Russian gen- erals will say, it wouldn't be a bad idea to build an extensive network protecting the Soviet Union against a possible Chinese attack; with the things going on in China now nobody can foresee what might happen and as. everyone knows "Chi- na's main animosity is directed against the Soviet Union rather than the U.S. American generals, witness- ing such developments in Rus- sia will point out that the bal- ance of terror is beginning to swing away from U.S. to Soviet advantage.

Fire Drove Buffalo South, Return To Canada Barred By BOB BOWMAN It seems incredible in this day and age, but some experts believe that the Americans were deliberately responsible for the buffalo becoming almost extinct in Canada, Until the set- tlement of the prairies began, the buffalo were the most numerous large animal in the world. Even in 1874 when the North West Mounted Police made their historic journey to Alber- ta, Inspector Denny wrote "There were places where as far as the eye could reach untold thousands were in sight, the country black with them." Yet soon after the Blackfeet Indians signed Treaty Number 7 at Blackfoot Crossing on the Bow River, Sept. 22, 1877, the buffalo were so scarce that the Indians were reduced to eating gophers and field mice. In 1879 Edgar Dewdney, the Indian Commissioner, reported that the buffalo had been driven across the border by a series of prairie fires that had been started almost simultaneously from. Wood Mountain to the Rockies. Then U.S. General Miles placed his army between the herds of buffalo and the border and prevented them from returning to Canada. They were slaughtered by commercial interests and in 1888 the U.S. Game Report announced that only six buffalo were known to be in existence, PLAYED BIG PART Two western newSpapermen played a big part in preventing the buffalo from becoming extinct. Norman Luxton, who had worked for the Calgary Herald and then founded Town Topics in Vancouver, suggested to Hon. Frank Oliver, founder of the Edmonton Bulletin, that the Canadian government should buy a_ privately-owned herd of buffalo from Michael Pablo in Montana. Oliver got the government to put up the money, and the herd was driv. en to Wainwright, now a nation- al park where the buffalo popu. lation is carefully controlled. They should never become extinct, but cannot roam the plains again. POINTED PARAGRAPHS 'Doctors' fear of being medi- cally examined is greater than that. of other people," says a hospital administrator. No doubt. Just as the Army cook invariably has a poor appetite. The man who said he was so allergic to horses that he broke out in a rash recently when watching a horse race on tele- vision may have been exagger> eting a bit. 4 Both Luxton and Oliver had remarkable careers, Among many other adventures Luxton tried to paddle around the world in a canoe, but got only as far as Fiji although his part- ner, Voss, sailed all the way to London in three years and three months. Frank Oliver came from Peel County in Ontario and worked as a type-setter for the Winni- peg Free Press in 1873. Then he drove an ox cart across the prairies to Edmonton where he bought the first lot ever sold there for $25. In 1880 he issued the first edition of the Bulletin printed on hand press imported all the way from Philadelphia. The first masthead for the paper was carved from birch bark.

By JACK GEARIN of The Times Staff THERE IS ONE sad aspect to smaller-city election cam- paigns. Little opportunity is afforded the electorate to hear the can- didates from the public plat- form. If it wasn't for the Jaycees, there would likely be no oppor- tunity at all. : The new emphasis on the door-to-door campaign is revo- lutionary and healthy. If you're lucky, "Abe" Walker, Cliff Pilkey or Jim Potticary may come knocking on your door, but don't hold your breath. The city has more than 24,000 places of residence; to visit half would represent a physical challenge even for Mr. Potti- cary (regarded by many as the hardiest of claimants to the door - to - door marathon title locally), The astute voter must surely appraise the candidate at work in such a pressure atmosphere before he can honestly vote with his head instead of his heart. The dedicated party die-hard who has voted the same way since the Mackenzie King or John Bracken eras won't be much interested as such clam- bakes can be hazardous if a standard-bearer is not too deep on political philosophy or political knowledge. It is best to keep him away from the free-swinging, give-and-take of the question-and-answer period, the hour of truth where reputa- tions can quickly crumble, Isn't the public platform where they separate the men from the boys, politically speaking? The best orator, by the same token, isn't necessarily the best man to send to the legislature; but what yardstick is more valuable in searching for an honest answer to the question: for whom shall I yote? LAST MAY a young lawyer phoned an Ontario newspaper, The Don Mills Mirror, ° : He wanted to kno: build a fallout shelter" oe kee vous fiancee refused to get married unless plans for their new home included such a set. up. The Kitchener-Waterlo e ord reported a similar incident recently, The Emergency Measures Organization Co- ordinating committee in Waters loo county asked building oper. ators if they had possible falls out sites for emergency use. The committee was ready te provide signs directing the pub. lic to same if available. So what's new in Oshawa's world of fallout shelters and how many of them are there Officially today? Remember there were an estimated seven in private homes in 1980? The man logically contacted On such questions admitted this week that he didn't have the an- swers, and his explanation was reasonable, Said Lt.-Col. Stephen F. Wot- ton, EMO's co-ordinator for On- tario County: "The U.S. just announced that it will develop an anti-missile defence against Red China, which includes a realistic shel- ter program. Despite this home shelters are passe for the pres- ent and for a good reason -- they represent just part of the thy tools, resources we would need, Other things are more urgent, important." He said shelters are no good unless municipal government's departments have emergency plans so that they can continue to service their community dur. ing an emergency. "This is EMO's key objective today," he said. Remember the one-room fall- out shelter Col, Wotton built 10 years ago at his 319 Burk St, home for $100 for his family? It still stands in his base- ment, ready for quick use, but he made an admission: "My wife uses it today to store fruit in." He built it because he thought it was his duty. He administers EMO for On- tario County with two assis. tants on a $40,000 yearly bud- get. Joseph Reid, his deputy recently returned from the EMO college at Arnprior where he took a short course in radia- tion detection and defence. To get back to shelters -- EMO was doing its best dmross Canada a few years ago Yo pro- mote their construction and even made grants for same, but the popular response was neg- ligible. The 1962 Cuban crisis spark- ed the first intensive campaign to have civilians dig in. Only 45 applications were made in Can- ada that year for the $500 Pro- vided for shelters in new homes under the National Housing Act proviso. There were also 35 ap plications for loans under the act to build shelters in existing homes. Col. Wotton says the six elec- tric emergency warning sirens erected across Oshawa six years ago are now controlled from a push-button panel at Civil Defence headquarters in Camp Borden. One of them is located at the east side of the Armories, Col. Wotton had a copy of a recent article in Izvestia, official organ of the Soviet gov- ernment, written by Marshal Vasili I. Chuikov, one of Rus- sia's highly regarded military leaders, It dealt with nuclear defence and read, in part: "Our scientific-research and construction organizations have worked out dependable designs for shelter to protect people Sgainst the effect of a shock wave, of light radiation, of radioactive blows.
